1.2 BORDER
IRRIGATION
SYSTEM
 Border Irrigation System
1. In a border irrigation, controlled surface flooding is practiced whereby
the field is divided up into strips by parallel ridges or dikes and each strip
is irrigated separately by introducing water upstream and it progressively
covers the entire strip.
2. Border irrigation is suited for crops that can withstand flooding for a
short time e.g. wheat.
3. It can be used for all crops provided that the system is designated to
provide the needed water control for irrigation of crops.
4. It is suited to soils between extremely high and very low infiltration
rates.
5. In border irrigation, water is applied slowly.
6. The root zone is applied with water gradually down the field.
7. At a time, the application flow is cut-off to reduce water loses.
8. Ideally, there is no runoff and deep percolation.
9. The problem is that the time to cut off the inflow is difficult to
determine

furrow irrigation and border
irrigation? And what do you think
is the best irrigation to use here in
the Philippines?

1.3 BASIN
IRRIGATION
SYSTEM
 1. In basin irrigation, water is flooded
in wider areas. It is ideal for irrigating
rice.

CHARACTERISTICS:
 2. The area is normally flat.

CHARACTERISTICS:
 3. In basin irrigation, a very high
stream size is introduced into the basin
so that rapid movement of water is
obtained.

CHARACTERISTICS:
 4. Water does not infiltrate a lot
initially.

CHARACTERISTICS:
 5. At the end, close the water inlet to
avoid water loss in the pond.

CHARACTERISTICS:
SPRINKLER
IRRIGATION
SPRINKLER IRRIGATION
The sprinkler system is ideal in areas where water is scarce.

A Sprinkler system conveys water through pipes and applies it with a

minimum amount of losses.

-Water is applied in form of sprays sometimes simulating natural

rainfall.

-The diff erence is that this rainfall can be controlled in duration and
intensity.

-If well planned, designed and operated, it can be used in sloping land
to reduce erosion where other systems are not possible.
COMPONENTS OF A SPRINKLER
IRRIGATION SYSTEM
Types of Conventional Sprinkler
Systems

a) Fully portable system: The laterals,

mains, sub-mains and the pumping
plant are all portable.

The system is designed to be moved

from one fi eld to another or other
pumping sites that are in the same fi eld.
Types of Conventional Sprinkler
Systems

b) Semi-portable system : Water source and

pumping plant are fi xed in locations. Other
components can be moved.

The system cannot be moved from fi eld to

fi eld or from farm to farm except when more
than one fi xed pumping plant is used.

IRRIGATION
Advantages:

a.Water is applied directly to the crop ie. entire

fi eld is not wetted.

b.Water is conser ved

c.Weeds are controlled because only the places

getting water can grow weeds.

d.There is a low-pressure system.

e.There is a slow rate of water application

somewhat matching the consumptive use.
Application rate can be as low as 1 – 12 l /hr.

f.There is reduced evaporation, only potential

transpiration is considered.

g.There is no need for a drainage system.
